'Brooks, Albert' revealed that when he first read the script, the scene where Aaron does a weekend broadcast simply noted "Something bad happens to Aaron on the air." Albert was watching CNN when a reporter he'd never seen before (and hasn't seen since) began sweating badly. Albert phoned writer/director James L. Brooks at three in the morning and stated that Aaron HAD to start sweating profusely.
Peter Hackes, who plays News Division President Paul Moore, was an NBC News correspondent in Washington until retiring from the network a year before the movie was made.
Director James L. Brooks hand-picked some real life reporters to appear as guests in the ball scene.
Debra Winger was originally cast as Jane Craig.
The anchor desk and on-air broadcast newsroom scenes were filmed on the backstage area of Wolftrap Farmpark for the Performing Arts, in Vienna, VA, just outside of Washington, D.C.
John Cusack is credited as "Angry Messenger". During the staff firings, a young man yells "sons-a bitches!" and angrily throws a messenger bag to the office floor. We don't see the character's face, but the voice sounds like Cusack's
Holly Hunter was cast two days before shooting was to begin to replace the pregnant Debra Winger, for whom the part had been written.
Marc Shaiman and Glen Roven, who play News Theme Writers, are real-life composers who have also done television jingles. Shaiman, after doing Broadcast News, went on to score major motion picture films and has since been nominated for five Academy Awards.
Early in the film, Aaron ('Albert Brooks' ) is told a man is waiting for him downstairs for an interview. Tom, ('William Hurt' ), asks if he can come along. There were scenes filmed that showed the interview. The man they interviewed went on to inspire Tom to be a better reporter. Those scenes were cut from the final film.
